Riassunto

Anyone working in the leadership arena these days is fully aware of the potential for failure. Public or private sector-industry or government-it makes no difference. The New Leader offers something for those looking to redesign and energize their businesses. It is not like all of the other "leadership" books on the market today! This is fresh, enthusiastic, innovative, informative, and highly practical. This book presents a three-step framework that will enable your operation to become an innovative organization, become a 21st century leader and survive the rest of the 20th century in the process.
The author's firsthand experiences provides an "inside-out" approach, showing how to transform and energize any business. The framework shows you how to channel people's energy and ideas to overcome obstacles and tear down the walls of bureaucracy. Learn how to run Idea Campaigns and Make-A-Difference (MAD) programs, get the Beatitudes of Leadership, explore the Black Hole of Bureaucracy, and discover programs for improving worker loyalty, employee involvement, customer service, and growing a healthier bottom line.
